13. Teracolus liagore. 



Foiitia liagore, Klug, Synib. Phys. pi. vi. figs. .5-8 (1829). 



Three males and a female. 



These examples, and especially the female, were of considerable 

 interest to me, for they prove conclusively that \n ray recent 

 revision of the genus Teracolus I was incorrect in referring 

 T. liagore (as a seasonal phase) to T. evame. I never felt quite 

 satisfied that I was correct in so doing, as the ft)rm and pui'e 

 white colouring of T. liagore looked out of place among the more 

 rounded yellow-washed wings of the various seasonal phases of 

 T. evame. Now that the female and three somewhat varying 

 males have come to hand, I am quite satisfied that T. liagore is 

 ujerely a dry phase of the N. African T. dalra and grades 

 completely into T. nouna. It is odd that a related yet distinct 

 species should occur at Aden. 



14. Teracolus eupompe, var. dedbcora. 



Anthopsgche dedecora, Felder, Keise der Nov., Lep. ii. p. 184 

 (18()5). 



A slightly worn female. 



Here again we have a North African type. 



15. CaTOPSILIA IXORELLA, var. PYRENE. 



Colias pyrene, Svvaiuson, Zool. III. 1st ser. pi. 51 (1820-1). 



Several worn exani])les. 



It is probable that, as at Aden, the various forms of this species 

 occur together, but only the variety pyrene appears in the present 

 consignment. 



16. Stnchloe iranica. 



Fieris iranica, Bienert, Lep. Ergebu. p. 27 (1870). 



A fair sei-ies. 



It is interesting to receive this Persian insect from Muscat, and 

 to know that the nearly related »S'. glauconome is common to Aden 

 and East Africa. 



17. Belenois mesentika. 



PapUlo mesentina, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iii. pi, cclxx. A, B (1782). 

 Eour examples (wet phase). 



18. PaPILIO DEMOLEUS. 



J'apilio demoJeus, Linneus, Mus. Lud. ITlr. p. 214 (1764). 

 Several examples of this Indian species '. 



19. Parxara mathias. 



Hesperia mathiax, Fabricius, Ent. Sj^st. Suppl. p. 433 (1798). 

 Two worn males of this Indo-African species. 



1 The Hon. W. liotliscliikl has shoiru tliafc the true V. f7ni'>/cus is not, as 

 formerly siipp(>.-;ecl. the African species.
